Palin comes out swinging and starts telling the folks what's at stake here. Why McCain is so damn polite when the very country is at stake confounds me. These are dangerous people and we need a leader, unafraid of the media, unafraid of the leftwing bullies -- we are counting on you McCain and you are failing us.

Palin OTOH is opening up and telling folks what we on the blogs have been reporting for over a year now - Obama's nefarious radical alliances. The media is having a two year old temper tantrum but even the deeply leftarded Rolling Stone agrees. This from February 2007 - thanks to Joe

In the tank for Obama early and often, Rolling Stone was enthralled back then at the thought of Obama, with
"as openly radical a background as any significant American political
figure has ever emerged from," (p.3) becoming a force for change on the
national stage. The reference is to Wright, rather than to Ayers,
but the politics are ultimately the same. I bring this up not because
the article sheds any new light on Obama, but rather because of its
tone. Obama's radicalism was a selling point
with which leftist journals like RS were trumpeting just last year and
attempting to bury now.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -Republican vice
presidential candidate on Saturday accused Democrat
Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of an
association with a former '60s radical, stepping up an effort to portray Obama
as unacceptable to American voters.

Palin's reference was to Bill Ayers, one
of the founders of the group the Weather
Underground. Its members took credit
for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol,
during the Vietnam War era. Obama, who was a child when the group was active,
has denounced Ayers' radical views and activities.

While it is known that Obama
and Ayers live in the same Chicago neighborhood, served on a charity
board together and had a fleeting political connection, it's a stretch of any
reading of the public record to say the pair ever palled around. And it's simply
wrong to suggest that they were associated while Ayers was committing terrorist
acts.

This is mainsteam media injecting its narrative into a news story.

Falling behind Obama in polls, the Republican campaign plans to make attacks
on Obama's character a centerpiece of candidate John McCain's message in the
final weeks of the presidential race. Coming late in the campaign, Palin's
remark could be particularly incendiary, however, and could knock Obama off his
focus on the troubled economy.

Incendiary and true.

Palin told a group of donors at a private airport, "Our opponent ... is
someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough,
that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."
She also said, "This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I
see America."

PALIN UNLEASHED DOES THE HEAVY LIFTING

Palin comes out swinging and starts telling the folks what's at stake here. Why McCain is so damn polite when the very country is at stake confounds me.
